Wow. I always feel strange in landscapes that open. Folks from the eastern US are more used to being closed in by hills.

You hike the most remote places! Yes, I can see the hiker in your photo. I guess 30 degrees is better than 120 in the summer.

I saw the hiker Betchai, definitely just like a dot there. Somehow the desert shots don't feel so warm at all. I interpreted it as cold actually.

Betchai, your shots are always breathtaking but I ...

Betchai, your shots are always breathtaking but I have to say that first one left me breathless, seriously. You make a desert appealing :)

wow, i didn't know you and khai were on vacation, beth!! that is wonderful!! i loved viewing your desert photos:) looks like you guys are having a blast over there! and wow, that hiker did look like a tiny dot- or an ant!- roaming through that wilderness. amazing! enjoy the rest of your break from work/school. and pls, beth, don't go anywhere there without your GPS. i hear that it's easy to get lost among sand dunes, since they all look the same. always stay close to khai, too. i remember that time you got lost up in the mountains and almost passed out from the high altitude and thin air:( i don't want you to get lost in the desert. please take care, beth, and bring us more pictures when you get back home:) hugs to you!!!

War...the place is so vast. Don't you guys afraid that you'll get lost. Ha :D

But the experience must be overwhelming right? :p

It's really amazing how you find these places....

It's really amazing how you find these places. I am so jealous. I hope I have the time and the partner who would really take me those places.

We are actually a tiny dot on the Earth, but a dot as you seems to enjoy so much in the desert at 0C..
